Miami-Dade County is, as always, one of the premier hotbeds for high school football talent in the entire country and college recruiters will flock to South Florida all year to check out top prospects at Central, Homestead, Booker T. Washington and more.

Although Miami-Dade doesn’t have a single top-100 prospect in the Class of 2024, the Class of 2025 is stacked in Dade County, with one five-star recruit and already more than half a dozen other blue-chip players.

In all, eight schools are featured among the top 25 recruits in Dade this year and 15 of the 25 are blue-chip prospects.

The full breakdown by position: one quarterback, one running back, two wide receivers, two edge rushers, five defensive linemen, four linebackers, three cornerbacks, four safeties and three athletes. No offensive lineman made the top 25.

All rankings are based on grades from 247Sports’ composite rankings for the Classes of 2024 and 2025. Players are listed with name, position, class, high school team and college commitment.
